A long title but that is what I need… because I’m in a situation I need this solutions.

I have a simple pierce of code on my website, lets name it for this example: domain.com

{exp:channel:entries limit="1" channel="news" disable="trackbacks|member_data|category_fields|categories" orderby="entry_id"}
 <div class="news">
  {newsimage}
  {paginate}
          {if previous_page}
    <a href="http://{auto_path}" title="Next" class="next">Next</a>
   {/if}
   {if next_page}
    <a href="http://{auto_path}" title="Previous" class="prev">Prev</a>
   {/if}
  {/paginate}
 </div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Everything is working fine, but when I press the next/previous button the link is: domain.com/P1, domain.com/P2 etc. That is not handy because when a new item is placed all items have a other number.

Is there a way that the next/previous link is the permalink for the item?

I tried first the Next/Previous Entry Linking, but that is not working either…

Next/Previous entry linking should work for this. Are you sure you put the tags outside of the {exp:channel:entries} tag?

Next/Previous entry linking is only available when the url is something like domain.com/news/3, that’s how the ‘system’ knows where it is. At least… that’s how I learned it. 😊

Ahh, right. I failed to see the url structure you wanted. Actually, I solved something similar to this with the Advanced Prev Next Entry addon (http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/advanced-prev-next-entry) some time ago. Maybe something like the free Next Previous Links Anywhere (http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/next-previous-links-anywhere) could work too. I guess there’s no native solution for this, EE loves it’s dynamic urls… 😉

They love them indeed! Thanks for the plugin links!

But! I did it a little bit different. I made a new group with the name redirect and made it the home page for my site with this code:

{exp:channel:entries limit="1" channel="news" disable="trackbacks|pagination|member_data|custom_fields|category_fields|categories" orderby="entry_id"}
 {redirect='news/{url_title}'}
{/exp:channel:entries}

As you can see, it only redirects to the last entry. And then the Next/Previous code are just working fine. It is working, maybe not the best solutions but I’m happy. :p And it doesn’t slow down that much.

Hi Rommel,

I’m glad to see you have found a solution that suits your needs! I would like to point out that the current release of ExpressionEngine uses url_title for Prev/Next Entry Pagination by default:

{exp:channel:next_entry}
    Next entry: <a href="http://{path=site/comments}">{title}</a>
{/exp:channel:next_entry}

{exp:channel:prev_entry}
    Previous entry: <a href="http://{path=site/comments}">{title}</a>
{/exp:channel:prev_entry}

Is that not what you are looking for?

Cheers,

Does that work when the domain is domain.com

Because that was my problem, I can’t use that when the URL is domain.com instead of domain.com/news/id/1. I use the entry linking now indeed, but I can only use it when I redirect the visitors first. 😉

Hey Rommel,

Can I see how you are trying to do this?

This should work regardless of how you get to the page. Have you tried this? Does it work for you?

Please let me know.

Cheers,

Hey Shane,

I made a test page special for you 😊 Here can you see the page. The code on this page is this:

{exp:channel:entries limit="1" channel="days" disable="trackbacks|member_data|category_fields|categories" orderby="entry_id" cache="yes" refresh="60"}
    {embed="embeds/header" pagetitle="{title}"}
 <div class="animage">
  <div class="oneday">
   {static-domain}animageoneday.php
{/exp:channel:entries}
{exp:channel:next_entry}
 <a href="http://{url_title}" title="{title}" class="next">Next</a>
{/exp:channel:next_entry}
{exp:channel:prev_entry}
 <a href="http://{url_title}" title="{title}" class="prev">Prev</a>
{/exp:channel:prev_entry}
  </div>
 </div>
{embed="embeds/footer"}

The problem was that the next en previous are not showing up. Here can you see the exact same page the only difference is the URL and see there: the next and previous buttons are working fine there, The next and previous buttons only show up when the URL have april-18-2012.

Hi Rommel,

I understand now. without a URL title to tell the tag where it is (dynamic), it’s not going to work.

I am glad you found a solution though.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Cheers,

Indeed, yes… you can mark this topic as solved 😊 THX for the help!

Hey Rommel,

Awesome.

If you need anything else, please just let us know by opening a new thread.
